Volotea, Revolotea y Desaparece Sculpture

When I created "Volotea, Revolotea y Desaparece" ("It Flutters, Twirls, and Vanishes"), I aimed to capture the ephemeral and fragile nature of life, using the image of a butterfly as a symbol. This 1.20 x 1.20 meter piece is not just a hanging sculpture; it is a representation of the delicate balance between presence and absence, between what we can touch and what slips away from us. I worked with materials that allow the play of light, creating transparencies and shadows that shift depending on how the piece is viewed. I wanted the viewer to experience a sense of continuous movement, as if the butterfly were about to disappear before their eyes. The earthy, black and blue tones, combined with circular shapes, evoke elements of nature, but in a way that goes beyond the literal, seeking something more emotional, more profound. For me, this piece is a way to express that feeling that something beautiful and vital is always on the verge of vanishing, and our only option is to appreciate its fleeting existence.
